Typically I am not a mint chocolate person. Don't get me wrong, I love an occasional Andes Mint, but I almost always would choose something else over the mint chocolate combination. Something about these cookies spoke to me and I had to make them. I happened to purchase a bag of Nestle Dark Chocolate and Mint Morsels last year and never used them. I just assumed they would still be good, until I got them out of my pantry and realized they expired quite some time ago and there were odd looking white spots on the mint chips. Apparently I really wanted to make these cookies, because the next time I was at Target I bought a new bag of chips and went home and whipped up the dough. I made the dough a week in advance of when I wanted to bake them. So I rolled the dough into balls and stuck it in the freezer. Then, this past Saturday I let the dough thaw and baked them off. They turned out great! They are crunchy on the outside and soft and chewy in the center. They are not overly minty which is perfect. My cookies came out much more pillow-like then the cookies pictured in the original recipe, which I think I prefer. Perhaps it had to do with me freezing the dough. Enjoy!
